SENIOR CLASS

HOBART HIGH SCHOOL
Hobart, Indiana

FOREWORD

The idea with which we
start in life is to progress;
to attain a high standard of
thought and efficiency. The
goal of youth and the goal
of the student pilot is to
raise himself to the top-most
rank. In this hook we at-
tempt to portray a part of
the progress of the student
toward the accomplishment
of his ideals.

AVIATION

DEDICATION

To the Spirit of Aviation
— the spirit that carried the
pioneer aviators over seem-
ingly insurmountable haz-
ards; the spirit that is es-
tablishing the airplane as
the foremost method of tra-
vel — to that spirit this 1931
Aurora is respectfully ded-
icated.

INSTRUCTORS

Probably the most important factor
of student flying is the instructor. If
he is not a seasoned , competent flyer
himself, his charges may be seriously
hindered in their later work because of
a lack of proper guidance in the early
training.

Hobart, we feel, is fortunate in hav-
ing supervisors and instructors who
constantly strive to improve the product
of the high school.

Rear-Admiral Richard E. Byrd

Most men, it seems, are born to be followers, but occa-
sionally one appears who is not content to follow, but
seems to find his natural place at the front — leading. Rear-
Admiral Byrd is one of the latter.

Somehow, when he takes charge of a thing, failure
seems impossible. It is this ability of making men willing
to endure hardship and privation, coupled with painstaking
thoroughness, which has enabled Byrd to conquer both ends
of the world. Nor is their confidence misplaced, for Byrd’s
first thought and consideration are always for his men. Per-
haps, no finer tribute could be made than this note taken
from the diary of one of his men during his recent expedition.
It concerns the loss of a plane during a blizzard:

"He did not say a word about the loss of the plane. No
one who has not experienced it can appreciate his sense of
fairness and justice, his magnanimous and generous consid-
eration of others. It has attached all the men to him with a
loyalty which is beyond words to express, but it shows itself
in the way men work in this desolate place”.

FRESHMEN
The Grease Monkeys

Officers

President Robert Ramsey

Vice-President Donna Boyd

Secretary Carmen Whisler

T reasurer Harriet Livingston

This class falls under the name of grease
monkeys. When translated in the ver-
nacular of the day, this implies the under-
dog — the hireling — the one who does the
"dirty work”. Too, the grease monkey
is usually the beginner who has high hopes
of advancing from this lowly station in
life.

However, this corps of individuals is
very necessary in order to have a smooth-
running plane which is to be desired above
all things. Following co-operation and
co-ordination of the machine, comes suc-
cess and the position of Ace.

These grease monkeys have had an
auspicious beginning. This last semester
on the honor roll they had the greatest
percentage of any class. In athletics they
have displayed no little skill for novices
and showed up surprisingly well as re-
cruits. Too, they have not lacked repre-
sentation in the music section.

In general, they have showed varied
talent with three years in which to develop
it. This is, indeed, a bright start on the
road to success.

SOPHOMORES
The Mechanics

Officers

President Arthur Cooper

Vice-President Leona Self

Secretary Dorothy Woodworth

Treasurer Dale Wright

As Mechanics, the Sophomores have a
great deal of the unpleasant work to do,
even though they have raised themselves
above the stage of grease monkeys.

If the work of the grease monkey is not
done well, it overburdens the mechanic,
whose responsibility it is to see that the
plane is always in good running condition.
When the heights of pilots and aces are
reached everything should operate
smoothly so that the trip through grad-
uation can be made without mishaps.

If a mechanic neglects a single bolt, an
airplane may be wrecked, thus spoiling
his dream of becoming an ace.

So it is in school work. When a task
is not properly prepared, it will retard
the pupil’s progress.

These Sophomores have cultivated sin-
cerity and honesty in toil in order that
the flight can be made in safety.

There are many pupils in this group
who have a high scholastic record. This
class will be one of the largest ever to
be graduated from Hobart High School.

T reasnrer June Melin

Looking back over the past the Juniors
reflect on the many unpleasant hours
spent as grease monkeys, the days of toil
as mechanics, all the work and study,
time and effort, spent to attain this pres-
ent classification — the Pilots of Hobart
High School.

The long, hard, dreary hours working
on the plane — greasing, oiling, repairing,
polishing, tuning — that now is behind
them.

Before them lie the gates to a greater
task, — the task of planning their course,
guiding their machine through or over
the obstacles they know are ahead; reach-
ing their goal — the goal of graduation —
the day when they become the pilots of
the world, with a larger ship at their com-
mand, with a greater burden of respon-
sibility on their shoulders.

SENIORS— THE ACES

Officers

P reside nt Robert Hawke

Vice-President John Gant

Secretary Edith Brown

Treasurer Charles McManus

At last, after several years of hard work, dili-
gent study, and patient practice, we have reached
that coveted position, that long sought-after
standard of rating — the Ace. We have come to
the time when we will embark on our great ad-
venture, when we, alone, will be at the controls
of our ship and the success or failure of our
flight — our first big solo — depends exclusively
upon our own skill.

Will the training we have received in the past
years be sufficient to carry us through the various
perplexing problems ahead? Will we arrive
safely at our goal or will we be forced out of
the race before it is fully run? Will we reach
greater heights or will we drop out of the strug-
gle? Will we attain that greater honor or will
our aspirations turn to utter despair?

These and many other similar puzzles are the
problems that confront us, for which we must
seek our own solution. And upon these solutions
depend the success of our enterprise, our great
adventure, our right to the classification of
"Ace”.

Robert A. Hawke

Class President (4) ; News Staff (4) ;
Quill and Scroll (4); Traffic Squad
(2, 3, 4); Aurora Staff (4); Cheer
Leader (2, 3); Academic Courses.

True to the practice in the family,
he is our class president, and very
capably does he fill the chair. Ac-
tive, alert, and on the job — this
means Bob. His life is variety itself,
including the one girl, literary so-
cieties, and holding down a job. He
has an abiding interest in all school
activities and the height of his am-
bition is to become six feet tall.

John Gant

Class Vice-President (4); Football
(4); Track (3, 4); Aurora Staff
(4); News Staff (4); Traffic Squad
(4); Quill and Scroll (4); "Apple-
sauce” (3); Cheer Leader (4);
"Crocodile Island” (4).

''Personality plus” is our unique way
of describing Johnnie. He likes to
have a good time all the time, either
in school or at one of the many par-
ties. Entering Hobart High in his
sophomore year, Johnnie has made
a place for himself among the stu-
dents. As a yell leader, he has in-
spired Hobart’s basket ball team to
greater heights. We all sing in
unison, "He’s a jolly good fellow.”

Edith Brown

Class President (2); Aurora Staff
(4); Orchestra (3, 4); Honor Roll
(I, 2, 3, 4); News Staff (4); H. H.

S. Club (3, 4); "Thank You” (2);
Chorus (I, 2, 3); Operettas (1, 2,

3); Quill and Scroll (2).

This light-haired girl has proved
herself a valuable asset to our class.
She is well known in this school for
her ability as a pianist. Although
active in social affairs, she does not
neglect her school work, for her
name is always found on the honor
roll. We think that Edith is well
qualified to enter any field of the
world’s activities.

Matthew Charles McManus

Sales Manager of Aurora (4); Foot-
ball (2, 3, 4); Class Officer (2, 3,

4); Business Manager of Band (2,

3); Quill and Scroll (4); Traffic
Squad (1, 2, 3, 4); News Staff (4);
Track ( 1 , 2 ) ; Ho Hi Drams (2, 3 ) ;
Basket Ball (2, 3, 4).

"Bud” is the go-getter of the senior
class. He not only goes after things,
but he gets what he goes after.
Besides being an earnest student, he
excels in athletics, and other school
activities. His duties are varied and
show — to an extent — his proficiency
and leadership. Truly a master of
all trades!

Helen Scholler

"Crimson Star” (2); "Swami of Bagdad”

(3); "Crocodile Island” (4); H.H.S. Club
(2, 3, 4); Chorus (1, 2, 3, 4); Glee Club
( 1 . 2 ).

The name Helen is always associated with
Troy; and likewise, this Helen of our High
School is in danger of being carried away by
a freshman. She possesses a ready wit and
high spirit which have won her many friends
and good times. Helen accomplished her
high school career in three and one half years.
As a student she attains a high average, and
also, willingly adds her bit to activities.

Lawrence Gresser

Football (1, 3, 4); Basket Ball (I, 3, 4);

Track (3, 4); Traffic Squad (1, 4); General

Course.

"Jud”, as he is called by all who know him, is
an incomparable athlete. Active in both
football and basket ball, he is a three-letter
man. In his sophomore year he deserted Ho-
bart High for Hammond Central High, but
he returned in his junior year to take up his
old position as a leader.

Gladys Esther Peterson

Girls’ Club (2, 3); General and Commer-
cial Courses.

Gladys is jolly, full of fun, and an ardent
supporter of all activities — especially basket
ball. Her studies are never neglected for she
is in school to acquire all the knowledge she
can, and she has made a success of this am-
bition. She is blonde, blue-eyed and always
smiling.

Eleanor Rhoades

H. H. S. Club (3, 4); Ho Hi Drams (2, 3);
Girls’ Glee Club (1, 2); Chorus (1, 2);
Aurora Staff (4); News Staff (4); Quill and
Scroll (4); Librarian (3); Commercial and
Academic Courses.

This dark-eyed mischief-lover has few serious
moments, because life is one gay whirl to her.
She has a cheerful word and a smile for all;
yet, her heart, it seems, is given to one. Sel-
dom do you find a more willing and earnest
worker; she is certain to succeed no matter
what her position.

Wilson Tolle

Editor-in-Chief of Aurora (4); Football (1,
3,4); Quill and Scroll (2, 3,4); News Staff
(1, 2, 3, 4) ; Ho Hi Drams (2, 3, 4) ; Oper-
ettas (1, 2, 3, 4); Literary Society (1); "The
Patsy” (1); "Thank You” (2); Oratorical
Contest (1, 2, 3).

Every class seems to have its leader and we
find leadership in Wilson. He has been de-
pendable on the gridiron, spectacular before
the footlights, and has outstanding literary
talent. With ' Tolley” at the controls as
Editoi -in-Chief of the Aurora, we hope to
make a successful flight.

Elizabeth Jane Erickson

Aurora Staff (4) ; Quill and Scroll (4) ; Ho
Hi Drams (2, 3); H. H. S. Club (I, 2, 3, 4);
School l ibrarian (1, 2, 3, 4); Operettas (l’

2, 3); Orchestra (1, 2, 3); Chorus (1, 2, 3);

Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Commercial and Aca-
demic Courses.

Elizabeth is the songbird of Hobart High.
She is always singing a gay little tune to cheer
us throughout the day. Her ability with a
pen won her admittance to the organization
of Quill and Scroll. One so widely gifted
should achieve a great success.

y-Os

Devere Caldwell

Traffic Squad (I, 2, 3); General and Com-
mercial Courses.

"Dinty”, as he is familiarly known, is an all
around fellow. Not a particularly active
participant in outside activities, — rather, he
is an enthusiastic barker of everything. His
most outstanding feat has been his introduc-
tion of the convict style haircut in the high
school.

Lillian F. King

Basket Ball (1, 2, 5, 4); Class Secretary (2);

Class Treasurer (3); H. H. S. Club (4);
Operetta (4); Chorus (4); Glee Club (4);
General and Commercial Courses.

When you see a proverbial blonde dashing
after some one, you know it’s the perplexing
Lillian. She’s a close guard in basket ball and
a fast player. Lillian is also a diligent worker
in her extra-curricula activities.

Harry Thurber

Basket Ball (1, 2); General and Commercial
Courses.

A tall, rather slow moving chap, is Harry.
He comes to his classes, and attends to his
own affairs, but outside of school we find
that he has quite a bit of vitality. He doesn’t
participate in high school athletics, but seems
to be very active in such sports as trapping,
hunting, fishing, and hockey.

Henrietta Ragon

Operettas (2, 3, 4); Basket Ball (2); Yell
Leader (2, 3, 4); H. H. S. Club (2, 3, 4);
Chorus ( 1 , 2, 3 , 4 ) ; Girls’ Glee Club (1,2);
General and Academic Courses.

A quick movement, a flashing form, a gurg-
ling laugh, — Henrietta. She’s here, she’s

there, spreading laughter and happiness as
she goes — never out of place, never out of
tune with the proceedings. As a pep starter,
she has few peers. She takes an active part
in various school functions, and loyally sup-
ports "her man”.

Russell James Wettengel

Operettas (1, 2, 3); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Or-
chestra (I, 2, 3, 4); Mixed Chorus (2, 3);
Traffic Squad (2); General and Academic
Courses.

Practice makes perfect, thinks Russell and
so saying he practices day and night on his
flute; the result — an accomplished musician.
"Rusty” — medium, blonde, and blue-eyed —
has won many friends by his ready smile. He
tries to take part in everything he can and
is an ardent sport enthusiast.

Claire L. Crisman

Chorus (1, 2, 3); Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Ho
Hi Drams (2); Librarian (3); Choral Con-
test (3); Typing Honors (2, 3); Commer-
cial and Academic Courses.

Very unassuming is Claire. She belongs to
that class of people who always have a pleas-
ant smile, and a cheerful word for all. Her
best is never too good for the task assigned.
She is very sincere and conscientious in her
work.

Jean Trester

Aurora Staff (4); Band Sponsor (2, 3, 4);

Quill and Scroll (3, 4); H. H. S. Club (2,

3 ) ; News Staff (4) .

Jean has, through literature, traveled into
far countries and made the acquaintance of
many famous people. She capably assumes
the many responsibilities which result from
her active part in many organizations. She
is a strong, dependable character, in whom
teachers and classmates place trust and con-
fidence.

Steve Koziol

Football (2, 3, 4); Track (1, 2, 3, 4); Gen-
eral and Academic Courses.

Steve is one of our subdued chaps who excels
highly as a guard in football. Steve is very
quiet except when in action on the football
field. He is always on the right side of every-
thing when it comes to voicing his opinion,
and we know he uses his idle moments to
advantage.

Dorothy L. Smith

Declamatory Contest (1, 2); H. H. S. Club
(2, 3, 4); "The Valiant” (2); “Applesauce”

(3); News Staff (3); Aurora Staff (4);
Junior High Office (4) ; “Crocodile Isle” (4).

In the history of this school there always have
been all kinds of Dorothys, but never one so
short and unique as our little "Dot”. For
all this shortness she is very talented. Her
ability to speak before a large group of peo-
ple has won her many friends and just as
many rewards. Her cheery greetings and
sunny smiles are well known in and out of
school.

Dorothy M. Smith

General and Academic Courses.

To know her is to love her, and to be her
friend is a privilege. She has a personality all
her own and one to be envied by many. Her
thoughts are centered out of school but that
doesn’t bother "Dot’s” studies, because her
grades are always more than satisfactory.
Her ambition is to be a stenographer, and,
we surmise, she’ll make a good one.

Courtney Surber

Business Manager of Aurora (4) ; Class Treas-
urer (3 ) ; Honor Roll ( 1, 2, 3, 4) ; Quill and
Scroll ( 2 , 3); "Applesauce” (3); Traffic
Squad (1, 2); Honors in Typing; Ho Hi
Drams (3); Academic Course.

Courtney is the handy man of the annual
staff, the mathematician of the class, and
one who is ever ready to devote his time to
help you. Tall and dark, with a sincere
manner, this young man is very trustworthy.
Another trait of his character which is so
commendable is his ability to be responsible.

Helen Westbay

H. H. S. Club (2, 3, 4); Ho Hi Drams (2,
3); Glee Club (1, 2); Commercial and Aca-
demic Courses.

The only red-headed girl in our class is Helen.
She runs contrary to form, for she seldom
displays her temper. Her pleasing person-
ality has made her a friend of many. She
has had experience in office work and prob-
ably will continue in this field of endeavor.

■O)

Louise M. Bach

Honor Roll (1, 2, 3, 4); Vice President of
H. H. S. Club (2); Treasurer of H. H. S.

Club (4); Treasurer of Quill and Scroll (3);
Librarian (2, 3, 4); Aurora Staff (4); Com-
mercial and Academic Courses.

The name Louise immediately reminds one
of intelligence, and she is classified as an A-l
student. She has been on the honor roll for
four consecutive years. Louise is the type
who makes a success of everything attempted
— a faithful worker to the end.

Albert Stangebye

Track (3, 4); Cross Country (4); Aurora
Staff (4); General and Academic Courses.

"Al”, Art Editor of the Aurora, is one of
our most promising seniors. Entering the
Art Class last fall, he displayed a natural gift
to create; to find expression for unexpressed
ideas and emotions. He spent tireless and
endless hours in perfecting a single idea. In
spite of all praises, he remains the modest,
unassuming "Al”.

Vivian Temple Miller

H. H. S. Club (2, 3, 4); "Crocodile Island”
(4); Glee Club (2, 3, 4); Chorus (2, 3, 4);
Choral Contest (3); Librarian (3); Ho Hi
Drams (3); Commercial and Academic
Courses.

Vivian is always cheerful and is known be-
cause of her smile for everyone. She is an
earnest worker and will go out of her way
to help anyone she can. When she has a task
to do, she calls forth her best ability and you
can be sure the task will be well done.

Franklin Rhoades

Football (1, 2, 3, 4); Advertising Manager
of Aurora (4); Junior Representative of
Aurora (3); Traffic Squad (1, 2); Track
(1, 2); Ho Hi Drams (2, 3, 4); News Staff
(2); "The Valiant” (2); "Thank You” (2);
"Sauce for the Goslings” (2).

"Dusty” is small, but very active, not only in
school but in other organizations as well.
His cordial smile and pleasant greeting are
reserved for no one, but are equally divided
among his friends and co-workers. His
varied talents have brought him before the
public eye. He has proved his dramatic
ability in several productions and has shown
his athletic skill on the gridiron.

Edith C. Dunning

Operettas (1, 3, 4); Quill and Scroll (3, 4);
H. H. S. Club (3, 4); News Staff (3, 4);
Chorus ( 1, 2, 4) ; Glee Club (1, 2, 4) ; Libra-
rian (4); Ho Hi Drams (3); Literary Editor
of Aurora (4); Senior Play (4).

If we hear someone chattering, we know it
is only Edith talking to Marian about her
"lessons”. The incessantly moving tongue
must be an asset for she has participated in
chorus, glee club, and their respective con-
tests. She always has an idea for everything,
and proves herself very helpful.

William H. MacPherson

Basket Ball Manager (4); Honor Roll (1, 3,
4); Operettas (2, 3, 4); Aurora Staff (2, 3,
4); News Staff (2, 3, 4); Quill and Scroll
(2, 3, 4); Chorus (2, 3, 4); Ho Hi Drams
(2, 3, 4); Traffic Squad (2); Academic and
Commercial Courses.

Billy is a short, perky little chap, who keeps
us wondering what he’ll do or say next. He’s
a true and loyal sport fanatic and would bet
his last dollar, could he muster the courage
to part with it, on Hobart. He is always
using his pen, if not on school work, in tab-
ulating the proceedings of a basket ball or
football game.

William K. Brown

Traffic Squad (1, 2); Football (1); Basket
Ball (I); Track (3, 4); General and Aca-
demic Courses.

A tall, lank, and loosely built fellow is Billy.
Because he confides in no one, we think he
is mysterious. Very seldom is he noticed
speaking to any member of the fair sex; and,
even then, he blushes if questioned. He
loyally supports all school activities.

Evelyn M. Bell

H. H. S. Club (3, 4); Quill and Scroll (3,

4); Ho Hi Drams (2, 3); News Staff (4);
Chorus and Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Librarian
(2, 3, 4) ; "Tulip Time” (1 ) ; "Crimson Star”

(2); "Swami of Bagdad” (3); "Crocodile
Island” (4).

If asked to describe Evelyn, we would say,
"Efficient, cheerful, and quiet”. She is a
skilled typist and would make a competent
office worker. Her charming visage is seen
daily at her post in the library.

Harold Hamilton
G eneral Course.

There’s a time for work and a time for play,
but we’re led to believe that Harold much
prefers the latter. Despite this characteristic
he is always alert and very courteous. His
jovial spirit and occasional pranks have
brought many a laugh in the classroom and
assembly. But he can always be depended
on when asked to perform a duty — that’s
why we’re going to miss him.

Charles Dewell

Basket Ball (1, 2, 3, 4); Football (2, 3);
Traffic Squad (1, 2); General and Academic
Courses.

"Bud” is one of our unusually quiet boys —
blond, curly-haired, blue-eyed. He is on the
first squad in basket ball. He will be missed
by his many under-classmen friends and
those Lake-Streeters whom he brings to school
in his variegated "Struggle-Buggy”.

Virginia Verplanke

General and Commercial Courses.

Her faithful attitude and interest shown to-
ward high school affairs is well appreciated.
Virginia is often seen scurrying around school
in a jolly manner, willing to help anyone who
is in need of a friend. Although she does
not participate in many activities, Virginia
is a loyal supporter and has never been
known to fail.

Frank Kraft Jr.

Football (I, 2, 3); Basket Ball (1, 2, 3);
Track (1, 2); Traffic Squad (1, 2, 3, 4);
'’Crocodile Island” (4) ; General and Com-
mercial Courses.

Frank Kraft, the future basket ball referee,
is a husky fellow with a cheery, "Howdy”.
When you see him trying to study in the
assembly, you know something exciting is
going to happen. He also has dramatic abil-
ity which has brought him before the foot-
lights. If you wish any information on
sports, ask Krafty.

Elizabeth Davis

Orchestra (1, 2, 5, 4)j Band (3, 4): "The
Patsy” (1); Declamatory Contest (3);
"Thank You” (2); Operettas (1, 2, 3);

Glee Club (I, 2); H. H. S. Club (4); Com-
mercial and Academic Courses.

The sweet strains of the violin, or a loud
blast from a horn marks the entrance of
Elizabeth. She can make her "fiddle” speak
in orchestra and produce from her horn the
exact notes the director of the band wishes.
Her responsibilities seem to be many, but she
has always found time to perform every
task well.

Herbert Niksch

Football (3, 4); Basket Ball (1, 2, 3, 4);
Traffic Squad (1, 2, 4); General and Com-
mercial Courses.

"Herbie” is one of the big boys of our class.
He played end on the football team and is
pivot man on the 1930-3 1 basket ball squad.
His good-natured manner has won many
friends for him, and, when the "gang” is up
to anything, you can expect to find "Herb”
in their midst. He will be a good man at
any position he attempts to occupy.

Magdalen Kulage

Commercial and Academic Courses.

Student and housewife is the two-fold re-
sponsibility of this young matron. After
having been absent for a few years, and being
lured into the field of journalism, she has re-
turned to resume her high school work. En-
tering whole-heartedly into all activities, she
has won her place in the hearts of the stu-
dents.

Mabel Clara Lute

General and Commercial Courses.

Whenever Mabel is needed you will probably
find her in the assembly studying, for she is
a very earnest person and ranks high in her
school work. She is a lover of literature and
spends her leisure time in reading books.
Mabel is quite timid — never aggressive — but
she staunchly clings to her own opinions.

Robert Scholler

Football (3, 4); Track (3, 4); Traffic Squad
(3); General and Commercial Courses.

Bob is a tall lad, having little to say unless
necessity demands words and then he can be
quite talkative. We cannot term him bash-
ful, although his smile would indicate such
a characteristic. Bob upholds the school, at-
tending and helping in school affairs. We are
not quite sure which he favors most, foot-
ball or dancing, for he has displayed a keen
interest in both.

Jean M. Peer

H. H. S. Club (4); News Staff (4); Ho Hi
Drams (2, 3); "Who’s the Boss" (2); Choral
Contest (1, 2); Chorus and Glee Club (1, 2,
3); "Crimson Star” (2); "Swami of Bag-
dad" (3) ; Commercial and Academic Courses.

Quietly but observantly, Jean passes from
class to class. She is short and slim with a
peculiar pallor that sets off a pair of rich
dark eyes. Her favorite pastime is dancing.
It seems to have a lure that sweeps her
whole-heartedly into the rhythmic strains of
the music.

Belva Jeffrey

H. H. S. Club (2); Commercial and Aca-
demic Courses.

Here is a shy miss, with a sweet smile. Her
eyes have a faraway look and she seems to be
dreaming of future days. Always an earnest
and sincere student, she is little given to idle
chatter. So often with her is seen another
senior girl that they are called "inseparable”.

Phillip Keilman

Basket Ball (2, 3, 4); Track (2, 3); Football
(2, 3, 4); Traffic Squad (I, 2, 4); Aviation
Club (2, 3); General and Commercial

Courses.

Phillip Keilman, better known as "Dodo”, is
a lover of sports — but girls? Not "Dodo”.
He is a quiet, good natured fellow. He
played a hard clean game in football and
basket ball, being rated one of the outstand-
ing athletes during his four years of com-
petition.

Elizabeth Christopher

Commercial and Academic Courses.

We see her smile from time to time as she
walks to and from classes in a slow and dig-
nified manner. Many of her friends and in-
terests seem to be outside of school. She never
neglects her classroom responsibilities, and
she has proved to be strong and dependable.

Mae Shearer

Class President (1); Chorus (1, 2, 4); Glee
Club (1, 2, 4); H. H. S. Club (2, 3, 4);
Secretary of H. H. S. Club (2); News Staff
(1, 2); Aurora Staff (4); Commercial and
Academic Courses.

Mae, always willing to cooperate in the school
activities, has proved herself capable of at-
taining a high standard in classroom scholar-
ship. She has a demure personality and often
appears timid in voicing her opinions. It
seems that Mae will find success in the world.

Willard Heyer

Track (3, 4); Traffic Squad (1, 2); General
and Academic Courses.

Dark, active, ever-present, but not too con-
spicuous, a good student — all these are typical
of Willard. Though he plays some basket
ball, he is more interested in ice-skating,
hunting and trapping. Willard is, also, one
of our big business men, being connected
with the A & P Company.

Marguerite Eileen Jones

H. H. S. Club (3); Commercial and Aca-
demic Courses.

A vivid sense of humor, a gleam of brightness
in her eyes, and a quietness of manner —
these characterize Marguerite. A willing
member of the Girls’ Club — she scorns other
societies — and, we believe, she is more in-
terested in the home than in the business
world.

Isabelle Gear

Entered from Emerson (3); H. H. S. Club
(3, 4); News Staff (4); Librarian (4); De-
clamatory Contest (3); Commercial and
Academic Courses.

Because she reminds us of a quaint figure
stepped from a portrait of other days, we
are amazed to find her modern and exceeding-
ly straight-forward. She is an avid reader of
good works, and is alert for all news topics
of the day.

Von Sigler

Chorus (1, 2); Glee Club (1, 2); Operettas

( 1 , 2 ) ; T rack ( 1 , 2 ) ; Ho Hi Drams ( 1 , 2 ) ;

General and Academic Courses.

When a whisper or a disturbance is located
in the assembly or class room, it is usually at-
tributed to Von. His busy life is full of
mischief and "hooking” watermelons is his
specialty. At times he’s rather studious and
surprises everyone — teachers included — by a
brilliant answer. His ambition is not known
to himself, but he claims it won’t be long
until he finds out. As a source of merriment,
Von will be missed.

Sophia Price

Class Treasurer (1); Class Secretary (2);
Honor Roll (2, 3); H. H. S. Club (2); Op-
erettas (2, 3); Chorus (1, 2, 3); Glee Club
(1, 2); General and Academic Courses.

To outsiders Sophia appears to be shy and
quiet, but her friends can readily read the
twinkle in her dark brown eyes. Lively and
vivacious, intellectual and ambitious, that’s
our Sophia. She tells us little about her am-
bitions, or other personal matters; rather,
she seems to get a lot of fun out of keeping
others guessing. We know she has the
ability, and should become successful with a
little drive to back up her qualities of intel-
ligence and perseverance.

Helen M. Shirey

Entered from Lew Wallace in her sophomore
year; Ho Hi Drams (3); H. H. S. Club (4);
Chorus (2, 3, 4); Glee Club (2, 3, 4);
"Swami of Bagdad” (3); "Crocodile Island”
(4); Commercial and Academic Courses.

With her cheery manner and catchy smile,
she has won her way into our hearts. Typify-
ing the friendly spirit attributed to seniors,
she proves herself a true and reliable friend
to all. Her curly black hair and twinkling
eyes add to her personal charm.

Charles Frame

Entered from Horace Mann in his junior year;
Band (3, 4); President of the Band (4);
Quill and Scroll (3, 4); Ho Hi Drams (3,
4); Aurora Staff (4); "Applesauce” (3);
Senior Play (3); General and Academic
Courses.

Among our newcomers is Charles Frame, who
entered Hobart High from Horace Mann in
his junior year. This handsome blond is ad-
mired by both sexes because of his willing
personality. He is inclined to blush from
embarrassment at the most unexpected times.
Charles has been a faithful member of our
music organizations, and much credit is due
him for his work on the year-book.

Evelyn Brovett

Commercial and Academic Courses.

Evelyn entered from Horace Mann in her
senior year. She is, as we might say, a new-
old friend for her grammar school days were
spent in Hobart. Although quiet and re-
served, Evelyn appreciates everything that is
worthwhile. She believes that school is a
place for work and spends most of her time
studying and improving her general knowl-
edge.

Albert C. Rose

Football (2, 3, 4); Basket Ball (I, 2, 3, 4);
Track (I, 2, 3, 4); Traffic Squad (1, 2);
General Course.

Here’s to do or die — that’s the impression
one receives of "Bum” as he goes racing down
the field for another touchdown. We never
know whether "Bum” is happy or merely
trying to be. Occasionally he cuts classes,
and at times seems to be rather sleepy in as-
semblies, but this docs not interfere with his
studies. A good athlete and sportsman are
"Bum’s” chief merits.

Eleanore A. E. Flood

Chorus (1, 2, 3); Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Op-
eretta (3); H. H. S. Club (4); Ho Hi Drams
(3); News Staff (4); Choral Contests (1,

2, 3); Commercial and Academic Courses.

With a friendly smile Eleanore accepts her
daily encounters making the most of what-
ever it is that she must do. She is an ardent
worker and has been active in all enterprises
throughout her high school career. She will
be remembered for her pleasant countenance
and willing nature.

Lee A. Wanamaker Jr.

Foobtall (1, 3, 4); Basket Ball (1, 2); Track
(1, 2); Traffic Squad (2); Ho Hi Drams (1,
2); Aurora Staff (4); General and Academic
Courses.

Lee is a tall, husky fellow. His straight-
forwardness wins him many friends. We
often hear the exhaust of Lee’s motorcycle
long before we see him going for his daily
ride. He is a strong man on the gridiron
and an enthusiastic basket ball fan.

John Hancock

Honor Roll (1, 2, 3, 4); Literary Society
(1); Traffic Squad (1, 2, 3); Class Officers
(1, 2); Quill and Scroll (2); Ho Hi Drams
(2, 3, 4); Basket Ball Editor, Aurora (4);
News Staff (2, 3, 4); Academic and Com-
mercial Courses.

The quiet and serious mien of this lad is be-
trayed by the fun-loving twinkle in his eyes.
He simply can not resist mischief, and a little
practical joking now and then. However,
he works earnestly when once enrolled, and
is one of our most active sport writers.

Helyn M. Kostbade

Operettas (2, 4); Quill and Scroll (3, 4);
Honor Roll (1, 2, 3, 4); H. H. S. Club (2,

3, 4); Aurora Staff (4); News Staff (2, 3,

4) ; Ho Hi Drams (3) ; Librarian (4) ; Chorus
(2, 3, 4); Glee Club (2, 3).

Helyn Kostbade is an excellent student.
There’s always a jolly atmosphere prevailing
when Helyn is near with her light-hearted
and friendly manner. She is an ardent
devotee of her class and of all school activi-
ties. Dancing is her hobby.

Jack Killigrew

Chorus (1, 2, 3, 4); "Tulip Time” (1);
"Crimson Star” (2); "Swami of Bagdad”
(3); "Crocodile Island” (4); Ho Hi Drams
(2, 3, 4) ; Quill and Scroll (2, 3,4); Editor-
in-Chief of News Staff (4); Typing Honors
(3, 4); Honor Roll (3).

Whenever he speaks we laugh — not at him
but with him. Smiling and ready, he is
never amiss to a bit of fun; nevertheless, he
is capable of accomplishing an enormous
amount of work. A good sport, willing
worker, — these combined with a light heart
make Jack the success he is.

Wilma Baker

H. H. S. Club (3); Ho Hi Drams (1, 2, 3);
Operettas (1, 2, 4); Librarian (I, 2, 3, 4);
Chorus and Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); General
and Academic Courses.

Dark? Yes, very much so. She has black
hair, an olive skin, and liquid brown eyes that
always sparkle. Very talkative, yet for all
her talking one senses an air of mystery hov-
ering about her. Maybe some day someone
will solve this mystery, but we are content
to have Wilma just as she is.

Carl Sapper

Commercial and General Courses.

Carl is a jolly, carefree boy, who always seems
to be having a good time. He does not take
an active part in the school activities, but
he loyally supports them. Occasionally we
see Carl wearing an original color combina-
tion and dashing across the assembly with
something funny to tell someone. He likes
to dance and he has nothing against girls.

Juanita Goff

Commercial and Academic Courses.

Shy, quiet, and reserved Juanita is quick to
smile when spoken to and always has a ready
answer for some inquiry. She is an ardent
student and ranks high in her studies. Her
hobby of reading has aided her greatly in ex-
pressing her ideas clearly and concisely. She
is gifted with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Marjorie F. Roper

H. H. S. Club (2, 3, 4); News Staff (3, 4);

Quill and Scroll (4); Aurora Staff (4);
President of H. H. S. Club (3).

During her high school career, Marjorie has
shown great leadership and executive ability.
Regardless of the task assigned, you can count
on "Marj” to accomplish it. Her winning
way and friendly smile have won her many
friends. She is dependable, reliable, and
sociable; and we can expect great things of
her in later years.

Donald Fowble

Operettas (I, 2, 3, 4); Chorus (I, 2, 3, 4);

Glee Club (4); Aurora Staff (4).

"There — just a little to the left.” Oh, how
the under-classmen remember that familiar
phrase. "Joe” was the class photographer.
We will always recall the way he entered a
classroom and the business-like air he used
as he adjusted the lights. Donald is using
his natural ability to the best advantage and
we wonder what life holds for him.

Marian C. Bonath

Operettas (1, 3, 4); H. H. S. Club (4);
News Staff (2, 3, 4); Chorus (1, 2, 4); Glee
Club (1, 2, 4) ; Librarian (3 ) ; Ho Hi Drams
(3); Aurora Staff (4); Academic and Com-
mercial Courses.

One never knows whether she is happy or
blue, because she always veils her feelings.
Her studies are sometimes neglected, for she
would rather see herself pass by the breadth
of a hair, than burn nightly the midnight
oil. Marian is an ardent devotee to her class
and to all school activities, especially when
it comes to dancing.

■

Mae L. Kramer

Aurora Staff (4); H. H. S. Club (2, 3, 4);
Librarian (2, 3); Operettas (1, 2, 4); Glee
Club (1, 2, 4); Commercial and Academic
Courses.

Mae seems to be a patient and happy-go-lucky
girl with lots of merriment and a catchy
smile. At times, however, she is sedate and
quiet. Those twinkling blue eyes of hers
seem to hold the interest of a certain junior.

Arthur Nelson

Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Orchestra (3, 4); Chorus
(1, 4); Operetta (4); General and Com-
mercial Courses.

A mere glance at his name tells half the story
about this small, musically inclined senior.
To be sure, he’s a blonde, blue-eyed Swede —
and one mustn’t overlook that natural lisp
of his. We are assured that there are few idle
moments in the routine of Arthur’s daily life
for he seems to always have plenty to do;
and, what’s more, an intention to do it.

Olive Lee

Girls’ Basket Ball (2, 3, 4); Aurora Staff
(4); H. H. S. Club (4); Ho Hi Drams (3);
Academic and Commercial Courses.

Olive Lee represents one of the best jump-
centers in the history of Hobart girls’ basket
ball, and she is an all around good sport.
She has a tendency to be very quiet but when
on the basket ball floor she shows her pep and
vigor. Olive also has ability as a stenogra-
pher, which she practices as her Dad’s as-
sistant.

ORGANIZATION

MR. REVELLI

When this twinkling-eyed member
of our faculty arrived five years ago,
one could merely guess at his talent.
At present, however, there is no need
for guessing. In this short time, he
has popularized the yearly operetta,
and has formed and developed a band
which rated National Champs for
1930.

We have unfaltering faith in him
and sincerely hope he will not stray to
some other field to exercise his ability.

TROPHY

The winning of the trophy shown here
is the result of many things: the whole-

hearted community support, the faith-
fulness of the members through long hours
of practice, the patient effort of Mr.
Revelli, and the co-operation of all in-
terested in the band’s welfare. The co-
operation of all these secured for us the
National Trophy in Class B for 193 0.
Happy are we in its possession, and may
it find a permanent place in our trophy
case!

SECOND BAND

These patiently working, and earnestly practicing students are al-
ways looking forward to their goal. That is, the day when they will
become members of the Hobart High School Concert Band.

Their youthfulness and their mistakes are more than over-shadowed
by their very intensive interest, and desire to advance. Like an over-
flowing fountain which freshens the ground onto which it o’erflows, this
second band ever renews and revives the interest of the first band.

HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA

Many beautiful melodious strains of music and close harmony enter-
tain us through happy hours of enjoyment. The rhythmic movements
of the director inspire us while we listen to the low full notes of the bass
and the dreamy mellow tones of the violins.

Whenever good music is needed for a dramatic play or similar en-
tertainment, we can always depend upon our school orchestra.

Back Row: Everett Parry, Kenneth Sothman, Charles Frame, Robert Sherwood.

SONNY’S SYNCOPATORS

What’s that jazzy razzy syncopating tone we hear from the music
room? None other than the Jazz Orchestra rehearsing for the Junior
Dancing Class.

Full of snap and pep, these Syncopators are in demand to play for
the many social functions. Practicing patiently under the direction of
"Sonny Ramsey”, they are able to satisfy the demands set by the frolic-
loving students.

MIXED CHORUS

The members of this group have had many happy hours working
together. And because of these happy hours, we are the gainers. The
annual operetta produced by these students gives pleasure to us by carry-
ing us away from the ordinary phases of life. Each year its popularity
grows, and the number of this organization increases.

In the garden of the palace of King Bongazoola and his two lovely
daughters, we enjoyed the humor and dramatic romance of Coco Orinoco’s
sacred Crocodiles. Dr. McSnoozer and his coterie of collegiate gem col-
lectors from America brought spice and variety to Crocodile Island.

The brilliant chorus of tourists, natives, sailors, attendants, and the
cast, enchanted the audience for the evening with its rendition of this
splendid musical comedy.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB

When you hear the sweet refrain of melody floating through halls
and classrooms, you can guess it’s coming from the Girls’ Glee Club.
The high clear soprano mingled with the mellow alto notes rings like a
duet of melodious harmony. Under the direction of Miss Mary L. Robin-
son, the group studies patiently to enjoy expression in song.

Each year the girls work earnestly for honors in the choral contest;
but, due to strong competition, they have been unable to attain more
than honorable mention. We are proud of them.

DRAMATIC and
LITERARY

In addition to sports and music,
Hobart High School boasts of a high-
ly talented dramatic and literary
department. Through these extra-
curricula activities students have
been trained in the art of self-ex-
pression, self-control, and self-reli-
ance.

Our local club is a member of the National Honorary Society, which,

THE DRAMATIC CLUB

For three years the pupils of Hobart High School have loyally sup-
ported this club. The application for membership has always exceeded
the limit of enrollment. The club enjoys not only the thrill of acting
dramatic scenes before an appreciative audience, but also the reading of
many plays, and the study of the technique of production.

Miss Thelma Fetterer has capably sponsored the dramatic movement
in Hobart High School.

"Tiger House”, the Senior Class Play for 1930, was presented on
May 15-16 in Roosevelt Gym under the supervision of Miss Thelma
Fetterer. This thrilling mystery was well liked and attended by the
public, being ranked as one of the best Hobart High School productions
in years. The plot kept the audience guessing while the acting won the
approval of all who saw the play.

For three years the H. H. S. Club has climbed higher and higher to attain the goal
that is now well deserving of praise and appreciation. It has shown the achievements of
an active co-operative group, always ready and willing to carry their share of work and
responsibility.

In the course of the flight the members have never forgotten those who might be
less fortunate than they. Their unfailing generosity will never be overlooked.

Under the guidance of a zealous sponsor, Miss McKenna, the club has been able to
create and maintain a high standard of school spirit and loyalty.

For the past five years the traffic squad has proved to be no longer an experiment.
It has become one of the most useful organizations in the high school. The Hobart Squad
has been under the supervision of the Chicago Motor Club since 1929 and Captain Mc-
Manus is required to make a monthly report of activity to them. The boys have recently
been equipped with Sam Brown belts which add an air of authority to their appearance.
At the end of each year, the city of Hobart rewards these representatives of safety with a
banquet and theater party which is attended by the Mayor, Members of the City Council,
Chief of Police, Superintendent of Schools, and other dignitaries of Hobart.

LIBRARIANS

These faithful lassies are responsible for that corner of the assembly
we call "our library”. Their unfailing vigil is kept morning, noon, and
night — thus enabling our industrious and pleasure-seeking students to
find what they want, without the aid of a Sherlock Holmes or Dr. Wat-
son. Our library has been enlarged considerably, but these student li-
brarians are not daunted by their new responsibility. Their orderliness
and quietness set an example to the rest of the students.

ANNUAL STAFF

To add atmosphere to their work on the Aviation Edition of the Aurora, the Staff
motored to the Gary Airport one winter afternoon. This trip was a relaxation to the
group that spent laborious hours editing this book.

Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh

A few handshakes, the creak of a heavily laden plane,
the scraping of wheels as the ship maneuvered for the take-
off, and a defiant roar from the sturdy motor as the ship
leveled off for Paris marked the beginning of Lindbergh’s
bid for fame. Begun in comparative obscurity, it ended in
a smashing acclaim in the French capital that made the
entire world take notice.

Although besieged with hundreds of theatrical offers
and opportunities to commercialize his fame, Lindbergh
never lost sight of the purpose of his flight — to convince the
world that aviation was fast becoming as safe as any other
mode of travel.

Returning to the United States, he engaged in a series
of long distance non-stop flights, again and again driving
home that first lesson. Now, when his flights are beginning
to bear fruit, Lindbergh is still working to further his
chosen work. Through his courage, modesty, and ability
to overcome obstacles, the Lone Eagle has earned a leading
place in the world’s fraternity of Air Heroes.

OBSERVATION

THE SOCIAL LOG

Charity Drive

Everyone brought his out-grown garments for the H. H. S. Club. Many, having no
old clothes, brought food. Baskets of the latter were distributed to the needy families
of Hobart the day before Thanksgiving. ’Twas an odd feeling we had, when we saw
our gone-but-not-forgotten clothes on some of the little children.

Junior Benefit Show

"The Big Pond”, alias the Junior Benefit show, arrived on the fourth night of No-
vember. For weeks the Juniors had been selling tickets and advertising their show by
speeches and posters. Now at last the results of thc'r labor were revealed.

At seven o’clock every seat had been taken for the first show and a line of people,
eagerly waiting for the second show, began to form.

News Staff Party

Marjorie Roper was hostess to the News Staff, November nineteenth. Evidently
the members expected a gala time as they all arrived sooner or later. After being divided
into groups according to birthdays, each group presented a variety number. After this
the evening was spent in dancing until a late hour when the refreshments were served.
Johnny Hancock asked for a second serving of date pudding. We wonder if the name
had anything to do with the request.

Aurora Staff Party

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. Acting upon this ancient proverb,
Edith Brown gave a party in honor of the Aurora Staff on the night of February seventh!

The house was attractively decorated in keeping with the Valentine season.

Games and dancing comprised the evening’s entertainment and at a late hour de-
licious refreshments were served.

Senior Valentine Dance

The date was February fourteenth and the social room of The Mundell School had
been transformed into a ballroom of hearts. Streamers of red and white were to be
seen everywhere. The programs were heart-shaped affairs, very much in keeping with
the decorations.

Many couples were dancing to the snappy strains of Sonny’s Syncopators, seemingly
t ” C t * mC t ^ ie ^ r ^ ves * Balloons were given as favors and soon everywhere one
could hear the sound of balloons bursting, and the wails of their once-proud possessors

At one o’clock the foot-sore and weary crowd dispersed after a happy evening.

Quill and Scroll Party

The much anticipated annual social meeting of the Quill and Scroll was held at the
Library, February tenth.

The guests listened patiently to the literary efforts of the club members. After the
last theme was read the best was chosen. The business meeting being over, many games
and stunts were enjoyed. The boys created merriment when they gave their interpretation
oi the spirit or Youth! Delicious refreshments were served.

Dancing Class

class ° nC ’ tW °’ thrCC ’ h ° P ’ and 8l ‘ de ' SUCH WCre tHe eChOCS Heard WGekly at the dancin S

These classes, sponsored by the Juniors, were held in The Mundell School every
Wednesday evening from seven-thirty till ten-thirty.

Many students attended them and learned to dance under the able instruction of
Mr. Gallagher and to the snappy strains of Sonny Ramsey’s orchestra.

Christmas Convo

Everyone rushed through with his dinner and hurried back to school; it was De-
cember nineteenth — the day of the Christmas convo. Everyone was ready for the pro-
gram by the time the twelve forty-five bell rang. After an endless wait, it was one
o’clock. Mr. Lawler, as the genial master of ceremonies, introduced Mr. Revelli, who
led the singing of Christmas carols.

Having finished with this pleasing diversion, a play was announced. John Gant,
Irene Bolton, Bill Jamison, Harvey Parkhurst, and Emily Jones presented a short script
entitled "Sam’s Christmas”. This was favorably received by a very enthusiastic
audience. Next on the program was a group of readings by Dorothy Smith, who never
fails to please. Evelyn Bell rendered a charming vocal selection.

Soon the Freshies started to cheer, for Santa Claus had just walked in. This was
a strange Santa, however, for instead of bringing presents, he took presents from us to
the poor. As a suitable finale, everybody wished everybody else a Merry Christmas and
then left for a long vacation.

H. H. S. Calendar

September: Entered school after a glorious week at Bass Lake.

October: Initiation of new members and social meeting at the Library.

We visited Field’s Museum, The Art Institute, The Great Northern Theatre, and Canton

noon and cleaned the various rooms, enjoyed a pot-luck supper, and attended a theatre
party. Tea was served at the opening of Mundell School.

February: A Farewell Banquet was given for 1931 Seniors, who will soon become

the Alumni of the H. H. S. Club.

March: The members entertained their boy-friends at Mundell School.

April: Entertainment, in form of a party, was given for the mothers and fathers.

May: A weiner roast at Miller Beach.

The Juniors Entertain

On the evening of May twelfth, seniors were seen strolling up the long walk to
the doors of Mundell School. Juniors were scurrying about as if the success of their
prom depended upon the last minute rush.

The social room had been transformed into a veritable fairy-land. Palms, blue and
gold streamers, and tea roses were all about. Here, there, and everywhere, couples were
assembled waiting for the appointed hour of the banquet.

Finally, the long looked-for array of food was served. Much laughter and chattering
prevailed. Harvey Shults, toastmaster, opened the avalanche of speeches. Harvey
Shults and Bob Hawke spoke for their respective classes. Mr. Dickey’s little reminiscences
of our many foolish acts closed the program. The guests received favors before going
to the ball-room.

After the grand march, headed by the officers of the two classes, the couples drifted
into a dreamy waltz.

At a late hour the orchestra played "Home Sweet Home”. The prom given by the
Seniors of ’32 in honor of the Seniors of ’31 had come to a close.

STUNTS

MR. CALL

Not many schools are fortunate enough
to have a coach such as Mr. Call. He is a
real pal to his players and his treatment of
them brings a harvest of hard work.

When it is necessary to drive home his
teaching, Coach Call is always prompt to
jump into a pair of moleskins and take the
bumps of the game with his team.

During the three years he has coached
at Hobart, his teams have constantly im-
proved in calibre.

Here’s wishing him luck for a bigger
and better football season.

CAPTAIN GRESSER

Captain Gresser led his team from the
fullback position and was "in the game”
from start to finish. He has earned the
respect of his team mates in three years
of service, and as captain he has been able
to help his men to a great advantage.
"Jud” has played his last high school foot-
ball game and his absence from the lineup
will be felt greatly.

FOOTBALL SQUAD

The 1930 Football Squad has played through what is, perhaps, Hobart’s most suc-
cessful football season. Although our team did not win the conference title, the opposition
was much stiffer, and it was met by the team in better fashion than ever before.

Graduation will take eleven members of the squad, but enough others are coming
up to build a team of championship rating.

A Val po Attack on the Hobart Forward Wall

HOBART— VALPARAISO

Valpo began the game with a rush toward Hobart’s goal right after the first kickoff,
but a stubborn defense held their bone-crushing power plays in check throughout the
first quarter. As the game got under way, Captain Gresser was forced to leave the fray
with an injury which he acquired in a bad pile-up. A change in the lineup caused the
signals to become crossed, and as a result, Hobart’s offense was rendered useless. Along
with other injuries, "Bum” Rose’s absence from the game made victory an almost hope-
less task for the Brickies.

HOBART— LEW WALLACE

Lew Wallace launched into the 1930 season as the conference dark horse and came
to Hobart keyed for a great battle. The game attracted many rooters from both schools
and was played under ideal weather conditions. Hobart, after blowing two chances,
finally scored late in the second quarter to win by a margin of one touchdown. This
was quite a feat, due to the fact that four regulars, three of them backfield men, were
out of the game because of injuries. In the above picture, Keilman, substitute fullback,
who did most of the ground gaining for Hobart, is seen plunging over from Wallace’s
11 -yard line. In all, the game was an inspiring comeback from the defeat of the
week before.

HOBART— HAMMOND TECH

Up to the date of this game most of the conference opposition had been pointing for
Hobart in a vain attempt to dethrone the king. A capacity crowd was present at Turner
Field, Hammond, to see the leading contenders for the Little Seven leadership tangle in an
attempt to settle for once and all, the question of conference supremacy. The first half
contained no real excitement, the teams playing to a 0-0 deadlock. The first score of the
game was registered when Tech took a bad Hobart punt on Hobart’s 19-yard line. A
real battle ensued, and Hammond Tech again managed to score in the last minute of
play to win 12-0.

HOBART— HAMMOND CENTRAL

The Hobart gridders won their last football game of the 1930 campaign from the
strong Catholic Central outfit from Hammond. Each team, playing at Turner Field,
Hammond, was weakly supported by rooters from its high school. The day furnished
favorable football weather and thus the stage was set for a 13-0 win in favor of Hobart.
Central appeared on the field with a squad of big men, but Hobart turned in the first
score when "Bum” Rose showed a pair of flying heels to his pursuers in an attack on
Central’s right end. Hobart was largely able to gain at will from here on and cinched
victory when "Dodo” Keilman intercepted a short pass and ran 65 yards to a score.

COACH EASTON

We stand in tribute to a son of Indiana
— one whose high sporting ideals, patience
and winning teams have brought him to
the front.

Coach Easton is a natural born leader
and a moulder of clean, hard fighting
teams. A man whose very words instill
fresh enthusiasm into his teams and make
them rise to greater heights.

We are, indeed fortunate in having such
a capable man to guide our team on the
right course.

TROPHY

The trophy is given as evidence of a
team’s highest achievement — superiority
in a given field. A prize with little in-
trinsic value but for which men have con-
quered the seemingly unconquerable. A
symbol of a champion moulded for a
champion.

This trophy, won by the Lawlerman last
year and again by Coach Easton’s pro-
teges the current year, is evidence of a
Little Seven Championship in basketball.
Hobart, striving for perfection, guided by
masterly hands, has been rewarded this
emblem and title, "Little Seven” Champ-
ions twice in succession, in the 1929-30
season, again the season of 1930-31.

BRICKIES

We introduce the Brickies and incidentally "Little Seven” Champions of 193 1. A fine
squad of boys, who are interested in basketball and love to play it, both for themselves and
for their Coach. Out of this squad, containing only three letter-men of last year, Coach
Easton has moulded a team which ranks as one of the best in the Calumet District. These
lads, by their hard work and fighting spirit, coupled with able instruction by Coach Easton,
have captured their second "Little Seven” basketball title in as many years.

They have experienced defeats, but as a rule only by a few points, and they have
had several of the foremost quintets of this region as their victims.

HOBART— CROWN POINT

Since time immemorial Crown Point and Hobart have been rivals in the realm of
sports. Their teams, no matter what their past records, always play as only rivals can with
the to do or die spirit. This year the Brickies proved themselves just a little strong for the
county seaters and treated them to the short end of a 28-20 defeat. The final score belies
the differences in the strength of the two teams; for although the Hubbers managed to
gather twenty points, almost half of these were made against the Reserves who relieved
the regulars in the last half. For just twenty-three minutes, or one minute short of three
quarters, the Hub offense was held to a lone field goal.

A Brickie Rally in Action

HOBART— ROOSEVELT

Roosevelt stands out as one of Hobart’s bitterest opponents, and a game between
these two teams always means a battle to the finish. Each year that Hobart has played the
East Chicago quintet the outcome of the game has been doubtful until the final gun.

The Brickies, after being held scoreless for the first two quarters, came back strong
in the last half to overcome a heavy lead; but, even after tying the score, they were
unable to provide the extra punch necessary for the win. A couple of long baskets by
the Ruff Riders in the last minute gave them a 2 5-21 win.

Who Got the Tip-Off?

HOBART— FROEBEL

Handicapped by the loss of the regular center, Hobart suffered its most severe cage
setback of the season at the hands of the Froebel Blue Devils. The Brickies had an off night
and were unable to present any organized attack.

The Kylemen jumped into a big lead at the start of the game and meanwhile kept
Hobart beyond the vicinity of the foul circle, where they were unable to get many good
scoring chances. This was the Brickies only reverse in which the margin of defeat was
more than four points.

A Tense Moment for the Reserves

HOBART RESERVES— WHEELER

A few weeks prior to this win the Seconds had whipped Wheeler in an overtime affair
by a lone point. This game was also a nip and tuck affair, but the Reserves rallied in
the last minutes to win.

The young "Brickbats” trailed at the end of the first quarter but came back strong
to battle on even terms with the Green and White and in the final minutes put on a drive
that swept them to a four point win. Roper, Hobart guard, was on the scoring end of
the last two field goals, that brought home the bacon.

MR. LAWLER

Mr. Lawler coached track and basket
ball in Hobart High School from 1923
till 193 0. During this time, his boys pro-
gressed from rough and tumble, hit or
miss teams, to their present state of or-
ganization. Under his supervision, our
teams have always been better than aver-
age; and, although Hobart claims no state
championships, such leadership deserves
the praise of every fan in Hobart.

CAPTAIN ROSE

Some schools are gifted with athletes
who can do anything well. Hobart hap-
pens to be one of them, for Captain "Bum”
Rose runs the 100, 220, and 440-yard
dashes, and when he is the best physically
he will get off a broad jump of twenty feet
to end a perfect day. Those twenty points,
along with a few others, go a long way
toward winning a big meet where medio-
cre athletes have a hard time in placing.
"Bum” came through the "Little Seven”
Conference Meet with high scoring hon-
ors, took second in the 220 at the sectional,
and also participated in the Stagg National
Inter-Scholastic Meet at Chicago.

TRACK AND FIELD

Coach Lawler started the 1950 track season with a number of prospects for a great campaign. Four
or five reliable men had practically cinched places in seven events, and with this display of power in full
view, Crown Point stepped in with a well-balanced squad, upset the dope-bucket and ruined Hobart’s
hopes for three conference titles in one year. Such is the way of sports.

six schools competed. Captain "Bum” Rose won the 440-yard dash in 5 5.6 seconds and
broke the meet record for the 220 by traveling the distance in 23.8 seconds. Bob Lee
earned the other 14/5 points of Hobart’s total when he tied with four other high
jumpers at five feet four and one-half inches. There were so many on the field that only
a brilliant performer was able to score.

CONFERENCE MEET

Hobart went to Crown Point with high hopes of winning her third athletic title of
the school year. Crown Point also had hopes, and by taking an eight point lead in the
first event and placing in seven of the nine remaining, left the outcome undisputed.

Captain Rose of Hobart, individual high scorer of the meet, won two firsts and
two seconds for an aggregate of 16 points. He set new meet records in the 220 and 440
yard dashes by winning them in 23.1 and 52.8 seconds respectively. Lee and Mattix
added five points to make a total of 21 points.

"BABE” GILL

Clara, better known as "Babe”,

THE HOBART SEXTET

Athetically speaking, we are sure the Hobart Sextet has done its best. It has
suffered from the hands of fate, but yet maintained its grip on that fighting spirit.
Where good, clean sportsmanship is concerned, its members have never been known to
fall below the highest standard set by previous Hobart teams.

CROSS COUNTRY

A class in basket ball and cross country for the younger boys was organized by
Coach Easton last fall for the purpose of preparing them for work with the varsity during
the campaign of 1930-31. A number of boys came out and entered into the work with
a spirit which won varsity positions for several of them.

Besides their regular basket ball routine, Coach Easton scheduled two meets with
rroebel for the boys. Although Froebel won both meets, the definite purpose of the
class— physical development— was established and results thus far have been very
satisfactory. 1

"PLATES BY BOND”

T HERE is always something a bit exclusive about
having that which is a little better or a little
harder to get than that of our neighbors.

In such a category falls the high school year book
which carries the above inscription. "Plates by
Bond” signifies, to those who know, that the staff
management prefers the personal attention and first
class work of a high grade commercial engraver in
preference to the ordinary "annual run” pushed out
by the so-called "Year Book Houses.”

Attention to detail, skilled workmanship and first
consideration to final appearances are primary re-
quisites in the fabrication of fine photo engravings.
Of each of these, "Plates by Bond’ ’is an iron clad
guarantee.
